Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. So If we have already booked and paid for our reservation I was assuming the sales were irrelevant. Can I ask for the sale price if it is lower than what we paid? Pam
  2. It is definitely an issue - I did find one that said it was an afternoon trip but when I clicked on it to get more information it reverted back to the 9 hour journey.
  3. so it appears that my best opportunity to see fjord would be taking excursion from Alesund so Geirangerfjord. Do I have that right? Someplace I thought I saw an excursion on a RIB boat - I'm not terribly nimble but would love to do that or would a drive up be better? I'm not excited about a big coach bus tour. Our cruise is August so should have plenty of options.
  4. thanks for good suggestions. I'm also wondering if we will see fjords from our ship on our way from one port to the next or is it necessary to take a separate fjord cruise from one of our port stops?
  5. We are booked on Oceania Sirena Hamburg to Oslo - I'm trying to figure out if we are likely to see fjords from ship or if we have to book a separate excursion. I can't seem to find any real details about the cruise other than just a listing of the ports. Maybe given this new emission issue we just need to look at a separate excursion?
  6. We are planning our cruise on Sirena with stops in Hamburg, Germany Haugesund, Norway Alesund, Norway Nordfjordeid, Norway Stavanger, Norway Kristaiansand, Norway Skagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark Gothenburg, Sweden Oslo, Norway Wondering if anyone has must - do's for these ports. I have some mobility issues so long hikes are not an option. We do love visiting gardens and have done cooking classes on a number of our travel stops on previous trips. Even though we will be on a cruise ship are there boat trips we should do? Or maybe fishing trips? (My husband would love me even more if I found one for him). Thanks so much
  7. When I asked for diet no caffeine cola (of any kind) on a recent Oceania cruise I was informed I needed to make such a request 3 months before cruise date.
  8. Pur O experience was disaster. P books tickets on group..so we were not even able to access our tickets on line. We couldn't check our luggage all the way thru to Sydney. Had to claim in Dallas then walk it over to International. Could not upgrade. We are not happy customers
  9. We ended up booking Chefs Tour in Burnie and the Viator Private Foodie Delights Tour - which will allow us to have some input on stops. I will definitely have to ask about Porno Donuts. Any specific winery tours anyone want to suggest? If any fellow cruisers are interested we can share this tour. Looking to share Foodie Tour from Wellington - It is a private tour from Viatour We'll have our own dedicated Driver/Guide and 'Memory Creator. Enjoy a 7 hour private tour from Wellington to the South Wairarapa covering majestic scenery, visit to an Artisan Chocolate factory, visits to Gladstone and Martinborough Wineries including a spectacular platter lunch at one of the wineries we visit and local cheese and craft beer tastings. We also visit the beautiful town of Martinborough well recognised for the 'Capital' of Pinot Noir of the North Island. If you have any particular winery you wish to visit this can be arranged in advance. Please get in touch if you would be interested in sharing this tour.

  10. I"m not familiar with SHORE EXCURSIONS GROUP. Is it on Cruise Critic? Pam
  11. Darn.... that is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for but we are doing a pre-cruise extension - spending 3 days in Great Barrier Reef so not much extra time in Sydney. How did you find the Chef's Tour? Maybe there are similiar offerings in other ports. Yes, We will be cruising with Patti and Steve. It's a small world.. made smaller when we travel. Pam
  12. I'm looking for something food oriented in a few of the following ports. Burnie, Timaru, Christchurch, Wellington, Napier, Gisborne, Bay of Islands. Our last few major trips have been to Italy where we did some amazing clases, meals, trips to markets or multi-stop tastings so we're kind of spoiled. We're open to all suggestions. I would especially appreciate some that focus on local foods. thanks Pam
  13. Loved you description of your visit to Bonorong. But I'm having trouble (and admittedly I'm geopgraphy challenged) figuring out exactly where this is and whether we will be in a port that might allow be convenient for us to visit. thanks Pam p.layton90@gmail.com
